Hi,
I would like to thank all the contributors and members of this forum who helped me with the doubts I had in ILR application .I have now got my ILR and I would like to share my experience with all of you thinking it will be of help for anyone who has similar situation like mine .
My case was a bit peculiar as I was on Tier 2 +HSMP+ Workpermit ..therefore I dint know which category I need to select in section 9P of the Set (O) form for the question where they ask you your previous immigration categories ... fortunatley the law says if you are a Tier 2 migrant and applying for ILR your HSMP and workpermit stay would count towards the 5 years ... stay in the country
Documents I submitted :
Letter from Employer
Life in the UK test pass notification
6 month payslips
6 month bankstatements
council tax bill
3 utility bills
tenancy agreeement
p60 and p45 for all 5 years
HSMP approval letter
WP letter
and becase I had 2 speed tickets I declared them in Section 7 and submitted my drivers license as proof
Got to the Sheffield PEO .. at desk 7 confirmed the appointment .. took the token and waited
Waited and was called at desk 6 to verify the application and photos and was given a go ahead to make the payment .. went to the payment desk made the payment , lady on this counter is very chatty and friendly best staff i have come across ... and then .. she would take your application , evidence to pass to the case worker and your wait starts again ...
After 45 mins .. a case worker . took that file came to me .. and asked me the category i was applying in .. I took him through the applicaiton and explained the evidence i had .. he only went through the applicaiton .. and asked for my P60's which were a part of the evidence anyways . .he said they have to carry out verification and it would take about 30 mins ..
Now I wait again.. and after 30 mins .. he came back and gave me the "good news " my applicaiton has been successfull and I can wait for my token to be called to collect my passport and he returned all my evidence ...
in next 5mins the guy in the reception called me gave me my Stamped passport checked my name and date of birth ... and thats it ITS ALL DONE NOW !!!!!
I wish all the best to everyone who is applying ..
BTW .. for driver , the car park is in front of vulcan house . called qpark .. but watch out for the charges and the PEO entrance is on the left side of the building ..
I have a template of a covering letter I prepared for this so if anyone needs it let me know i can share . .it
Thanks
